Under $30 Steal - ZealSound K66 Pro Studio Mic

  • Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
  • The ZealSound K66 Pro Studio microphone may be one of the best under $40 microphones I've ever tested - how do I know? This entire video was done with ZERO post processing on the audio track. No filters, no compression, etc. Would it benefit? Maybe a little - but the fact this microphone straight out of the box can give you studio quality sound is amazing to me.
    I cover some of the nice things about it, and some of the things I wished they would change in this video. If you want to pick up one of these - and I wouldn't feel bad if you did - you can use my affiliate links below to support the channel with a small commission.

      I’d recommend an AT2020 usb or XLR version or the Samson Q2U which has both. The Samson is a dynamic mic which will have a boomy close up pick up pattern and the Audio Technica is a condenser which will be more “accurate” depending on the type of singing.

      Turn the gain down a little. Make sure noise cancellation is off, and it should work. Also check out the Samson Q2U - way better for that use.
